Founder Bak Kut Teh Restaurant

Von brought us to this famous Bak Kut Teh place in Balestier. It opens from 6 pm so do not go too early. However, car parking is a little difficult there. Upon entering the shop, the walls are filles with photographs that the owner took with many different celebrities from Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The Bak Kut Teh there is peppery. Hence, if you prefer the herbal soup, this may not be for you. The shop refills hot soup for you when yours is about to finish readily. We had ours refilled thrice! I would have preferred if the you tiao was crispier. The pig’s kidneys were crunchy and it wasn’t too smelly. Request for chilli padi if you find the cut-chillies tasteless.

What About ME?

I am staying and working in Singapore. I love to eat, but don't really like pork. I am currently looking out for good Korean food in Singapore.
Currency stated in this blog are in Singapore Dollars (SGD), unless otherwise stated.
I like to travel too. Hence there will also be food posts that I had overseas.

The blog also features home-cooked food and recipes. The number of people who knows how to cook nowadays is decreasing. Some traditional recipes were already lost over the generations and I want to keep a record of home food recipes. Firstly, it serves as a record of what my mum cooks for us. Secondly, I wish that her recipes will be passed-on for future generations. Thirdly, if you have no idea what to cook for lunch or dinner, you can check it out here for some ideas! Feel free to improvise! Cooking is all about passion!
